Why do I 'need' supporting cabinets under hood for Kraftmaid?
Comments (13)If you're using the Kraftmaid mantel hood, your KD is only doing what the Kraftmaid spec books says is required. I'm a KD and my Kraftmaid Rep said that it voids the warrantee if you use the hood without the supporting cabinets because they're assuming that it won't be installed properly. I have used the mantel front (it is only a panel -- not a cabinet or a real hood) with what they call Tall Columns cut to size as sides and had it installed it between two regular wall cabinets, and once between two windows. You would be basically building the hood from Kraftmaid parts, so a 2x4 framing to the ceiling would be necessary since it should come out at least 24" over the cook surface. And depending on the height of the hood, you may be able to use the Viking insert. (Are you using a Viking range? The last specs I read from them require 42" to a combustible surface above it so a wood hood may not be possible) You'd also need a bottom to the assembled hood to support the insert. I've just ordered a Kraftmaid custom wainscot panel for a very large hood, with the tall columns and a shelf and brackets. I'll let you know how it turns out in about 6 weeks! I have done a lot of custom stuff in the field using Kraftmaid parts, but the end result has everything to do with how good the carpenter is. Your KD may not want to take a chance, but you might be able to sign something saying that you understand that there would be no warrantee.

Comments (10)I would recommend either a solid color fabric, or a very soft, subtle pattern (almost tone on tone). The fabric on the chair seats and the chair backs already have quite a bit of detail, and the wood shutters bring in some texture as well, so I think your drapes should create a simple but elegant backdrop. My favorite look for drapes are ones that are fairly close to the wall color, (could be a tone or two lighter or darker) and that are hung from as close to the ceiling as possible, ending just above the floor (floor length, but not puddled). If you have enough room on both sides of your windows, extend the rod past the width of the windows by about 10-12", so that when the drapes are open, they can hang straight down with the inner edge just meeting the window, and not actually covering it. I personally love linen drapes, but if you want a little more bling, consider an edging like a Greek key in gold, or a silk drape that has some sheen). Double or triple the panels on each side, for a full look. Here are a few looks to consider. Going with a higher contrast drape, like a blue or green from your chair fabric or art, could look quite good too, but I'd still stick with a more solid color look. Please keep us updated with what you decide to do. :-)...See MoreVapor barrier is UNDER concrete; do I still need one on top for LVP?
Comments (3)It is a requirement. You still need it and here is the reason why: We ALWAYS ASSUME that the "underslab" vapour barrier HAS BEEN or WILL BE compromised at SOME POINT in its life. We don't know when, we don't know how badly, but it will happen. Heck, it can happen WHILE they are POURING the concrete. Or when they are spreading concrete. Or when tree roots grow underneath the concrete, etc. So, the moral of the story is: always use vapour barrier (6mil poly sheeting = $0.11/sf at HD) over slab on or below grade when installing rigid flooring. It is the CHEAPEST FORM of "warranty saver" you will ever have. I promise you, that vapour barrier will come in REALLY handy at some point in the house's life span....See MoreHelp! Do I need a rug under my bed? Just had new flooring installed.
Comments (6)The teal is the issue. You have antique blue for curtains. I would incorporate a pretty white/off-white rug that has some lovely antique blue detailing. I would find one with the Arabesque detail in the right blue and be done. The bed spread isn't showing very much colour from 10 ft. But your CURTAINS are working nicely as a 3rd colour. Go with that....See MoreRelated Professionals
